The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) has yet another time extended the deadline for renewal of car documents to October 31, 2021. The revised timeline comes in the wake of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic in the country, which has scuttled daily life across large swathes of the population.
This is the seventh such extension of the renewal deadline. Earlier cut-offs were as follows:
-
In 2020: March 30, June 9, August 24, and December 27
-
In 2021: March 26 and June 17
All documents, including fitness certificates, permits, vehicle registration, and driving licence, which expired or were to expire between February 1, 2020, and September 30, 2021, will now be considered valid till the revised renewal date.
